Red wine was gross, normally bitter IPA tasted like flowers. It was so much fun! I love your secret decoder invitations–what a fun idea! I might have to borrow that some time…Congrats on the grant, Megan! Sounds like a successful party!

And yes, I picked up the bill for the evening (in this case covered by the Bing grant given by Go Mighty). It wasn’t cheap, but if I factor in things like time for setup and clean up, money I would have spent buying full bottles of spirits for cocktails (which is very expensive here in WA) not to mention buying a new dining room table and chairs and then squeezing guests into my house I think it was worth it. Not something I can do all the time but for celebrations it is something I’m willing to spring for.

Wed, 15 May 2013 17:26:17 +0000http://www.notmartha.org/?p=15020#comment-758302Those are the most rad invitations I have ever seen and I had never heard of miracle fruit before this. Must try.

Sounds like it was a really lovely evening. I’m so glad it went well.

Wed, 15 May 2013 04:56:27 +0000http://www.notmartha.org/?p=15020#comment-758200This all sounds fabulous. I’ve had a box of miracle berries in my pantry for years- I wonder if they expire?? Also I’ve long wanted to host a dinner party like this, at a restaurant- but if you’re the host it’s assumed that you’ll pick up the tab, right? I can’t imagine hosting a party at a restaurant and expecting my guests to pay, but I know that’s a thing with birthday parties. I’m not a fan of the group birthday dinner out!)

Tue, 14 May 2013 18:58:05 +0000http://www.notmartha.org/?p=15020#comment-758134This makes me want to throw an honest-to-god dinner party.

Interesting note about the miracle berries: My cousin got a bunch for Christmas. His father had suffered with some form of mouth cancer several years ago, which permanently altered his sense of taste. He had one of the berries…tried something sour…and proclaimed that it was the first time he’d been able to perceive a sweet taste since his diagnosis!
